to get here i fallowed the aboves steps:

run ms-dos command line windows
type: change user /install

install cygwin with all admin tools, openssh openssl tcp wrapper, vim,
rsync.

then run ssh-host-config.

here i notice the fisrt odd thing: the sshd user is created but
disabled.
the cygwin ssh service is created.

then i run cygrunsrv -S sshd
and i got the error.

i didn't dare just activate sshd user because:
1) last time i did this it didn't correct the error
2) i just reinstall cygwin, "from scratch" (i ran cygrunsrv -R sshd,
then i deleted the entire e:\cygwin directory, and i deleted the entries
HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE/Software cygnus solution and
HKEY/local-user/software/cygnus solution before to reinstall cygwin)

and so i still get the error.
please help me, i really don't know what to do more know, is there a spécial way to activate the user sshd?
doe someone know why the sshd user have been created disabled?


i'm a bit disapointed because since my first installation where i didn't
know what to do to set the ssh server up, i did install cygwin on 3
other servers with no problem, and on this particular one it doesn't
seems to work, could it be because it is a W2k server and the others
were W2k3 windows server?


Maybe.  I suggest enabling the sshd user first.  If that doesn't work,
modify the ssh-host-config script to create a user to run 'sshd' as,
which is what happens on W2K3.
